A helping hand for WelTec student

Sean Ryan, 18, an ex-Wainuiomata High School student, recently received a Hutt City Council Scholarship for excellence in study during his last year with Wellington Trades Academy at the Wellington Institute of Technology.

Sean demonstrated the motivation and commitment to achieve his goals and that was a key factor in his success.  The award will  be used to study for the Certificate in Carpentry Level 3 at WelTec in 2013. Sean hopes it will lead to him finding work in Christchurch.

This is an example of assisting our young people gain the skills through courses that will lead to real jobs.
